Long COVID vs. Flying Toasters

drreidsheftall.substack.com

First a little quiz for you:

  1. Long COVID is …………… ?

A) a figment of nefarious imaginations,

B) a serious illness that must be dealt with by prescription medications,

C) a serious illness that will subside but must be left to our immune systems,

D) a serious illness that will continue indefinitely regardless of treatment

There have been a huge number of doctors who have referred to “Long COVID” in a serious tone as if it is a real illness that must be taken seriously and treated accordingly. These doctors include but are not limited to: Dr. Vinay Prasad, Dr. Rochelle Walensky (ranked #2 in “Women Responsible for the Most Death and Destruction” in my book, “Heroes and Villains: The COVID-19 Book of Lists”, Dr. Adam Cifu, Dr. Leana Wen (ranked #3, behind Dr. Walensky), Dr. Sanjay Gupta (9th in “Men Responsible for the Most Death and Destruction”), Dr. Peterr Hotez (11th, two spots behinf Dr. Gupta), Dr. Jonathan Reiner (12th), Dr. Z-Dog, Dr. Monica Gandhi thousands of doctors and believe-it-or-not, people who aren’t even doctors, who have special “long covid clinics” including, sadly, Dr. Pierre Kory who was listed as a hero in my book because of, primarily, his FLCCC protocols with Dr. Paul Marik and his championing of the incredibly effective antiviral, Ivermectin.

The propaganda has been extensive and persistent, but first you have to l;et people know what it is for fear of them not noticing symptoms…

COVID-19 Thematic Website - Together, We Fight the Virus - Long COVID

I don’t know about you but I experience cognitive disfunction every day; fatigue too. And that’s the key. You have to show these symptoms occur more often following COVID-19 than following similar viral upper respiratory infections.

The CDC (remember them?) suggest that almost 15 percent of the population has had long covid, or symptoms that lasted three months or longer after the acute infection. The trouble is, they forgot to compare this with the incidence in the part of the population who never got COVID (Spoiler alert: the incidence is LOWER in COVID-positive patients… see graphs below)

The MSM has supported this idiotic notion from the beginning since Pfizer would want them to. They have also used it to justify keeping schools closed (“Children may not get sick or die from COVID-19 but they are at particular risk for Long COVID.”)

No, they aren’t.

Sorry Drs. Prasad, Cifu, Kory, Marik, Wen, Gupta, Walensky, Hotez Reiner, Gandhi, Z-Dog and others, CDC, NIH, FDA, CNN, MSNBC, Bill Gates, Pfizer and Moderna Executives, the big three Networks, the data show Long COVID to be no more real than flying toasters. In other words, the answer is A).

That’s right. Two papers have come out recently that blow the myth of “Long COVID” to smitherines. This doesn’t mean that some people don’t still have symptoms a year after their COVID tests turned negative. It simply means that any other viral upper respiratory infection (vURI) does the same thing (actually worse), i.e. that there is nothing special about COVID-19 as the fear mongering Left want you to believe; also the vaccine pushers who want to increase your risk of death and serious illness so they can pocket some more money.

Since I never say anything without proof, here are some data from those recent studies (

That’s strange, isn’t it? Lower percentages reporting Poor Well-Being from COVID positive children and young adults at 6 and 12 months compared to COVID negative children. (First reporting poor well-being at 12 months about the same)

If anything, the COVID positive group is doing better at 6 months and 12 months compared with the negatives (people who didn’t have COVID). I thought COVID positives were supposed to do worse because of long covid, didn’t you?!

Another thing evident in this data is the high percentages of these children and young adults who are having having trouble in these social/behavioral categories. More than 20% of positives and negatives having “High/Very High” peer difficulties?? Greater than 25% of positives and negatives having “High/Very High” Emotional difficulties?? They are the same too… leading the astute observer to conclude it wasn’t whether or not they had COVID-19 that caused so many kids to struggle- it was something they all experienced, like the idiotic masking, lockdowns and school closures that caused this very upsetting set of findings.

One positive note: they all seemed to improve at 12 months vs 6 months.

This graph blows me away. How the hell do 17% of the children and young adults claim to have long Covid at 6 months when they have never had COVID? Maybe the answer lies in the result of a survey taken to find the strongest indicator that a person has long covid. It wasn’t loss of smell or taste. It wasn’t shortness of breath, dizziness, brain fog, or fatigue. It was whether or not their parents had told them they had long covid. The title to a Time Magazine article tells the tale.

“You Can Have Long COVID Without Even Knowing It”

Let that sink in for a second.

Symptoms of long Covid in kids may change over time: Lancet study | Deccan  Herald

“See that lady over there in the white coat? Tell her you can’t breathe, you can’t get As in school anymore, you get dizzy a lot, and you can’t smell flowers any longer.”

I won’t bore you with 5 more diagrams; just one from the second study which included 2513 patients.

Comparing patients who had vURI’s and COVID-19 3 months earlier, The vURI patients did worse in every measured category. The square dots are the initial value at o months. The tip of the arrows are the value at three months. The arrows point in the direction of change. The COVID patients do better in every parameter. Their cognitive function improved the most, as did their physical function, and their social participation. Their anxiety lessened the most, as did their depression, their fatigue and sleep disturbance .

Long COVIDlooks like it was something invented to encourage more people (even children!) to get the vaccine. It simply does not exist compared to any garden-variety vURI according to these properly-conducted studies. In fact, COVID-19 patients are doing better!

All the while, the MSM has been promoting long COVID as some kind of horrible development of COVID-19, even for children who had no symptoms! They try to get them to take a horrible gene therapy injection because of something that doesn’t exist. They belong in prison for life.

Why does all this matter? For one thing Medicare has come up with billing ICD-9 codes for long covid visits , diagnoses and treatments so a bunch of doctors are stealing more of your money than they already have from calling everyone who died WITH COVID, a COVID death.

But more importantly, they are using long COVID as an excuse to vaccinate children (thus subjecting them to the horrible side effects that grow in number every day-one of which is death- without any benefit, keep them out of school which royally screws over their future, keeps them developmentally-delayed by having them wear those ridiculous masks, and be kept indoors, alone, where they can’t develop socially, etc.)

“long covid” that doesn’t exist.”

Most long Covid is jab induced...especially for those who already had Covid.

The small amount is from people who did not get early treatment, and got a large incolum that

their body cannot fight off.

I've got a jabbed covid recovering colleague at work...she is still testing positive. Day 11.

Reid, Excellent summary of the Long Covid foolishness -- I have been giving this speech for two years, but the two articles are helpful in moving the ball forward and your summary is right on point.

As is usual for Vinay (at least he is far more intellectually honest than most of his peers) he is slowly retreating in light of these same articles: https://substack.com/inbox/post/88886003. He has slowly done this with masks, spikeshots, whatever. Just takes him more time than some of us.

Most of the others on your list are more than deserving of the opprobrium. Thanks for doing this.
